Week 3 of the StarCraft II World Championship Series America saw the beginning of Challenger League play. Thirty-two players faced off throughout the week, and only 16 remain after four days of intense competition.

Intense Premier League action continued this week in the Starcraft II World Championship Series, as the final eight players in the Americas region earned their places in the Round of 16 kicking off May 20th.

The Americas region boasted some of the most varied and unique games in the circuit this week, and next week we’ll see the final eight players advance to the next round before kicking off the Challenger League tournament.

Last year’s WCS wrapped up with an epic battle in Shanghai between the best players in the world, and the 2013 seasons promises to deliver even more intense action as the pros bring their best Heart of the Swarm micro to the table.
